Document requirements vary by visa class, but most PNG visa applications require a copy of the valid passport bio-data page (with at least six months' validity), a completed application form, and payment of the prescribed migration fee. Visitor classes typically also require a request letter and a travel itinerary with a confirmed onward or return ticket.

Employment, dependent and longer-stay applications require additional evidence. This can include a sponsor or undertaking letter signed at managerial level, an employment contract, education qualifications, a maintenance guarantee bond, and - for stays of six months or more - a police clearance certificate and a medical report. Medical documentation may include a medical examination report, an HIV pathology report and a chest X-ray radiology report for applicants over 16.
